Does anyone own and use there reo and also have a kayfun they use on a different pv ... Input wanted

[flexsr]

Hey all,

I am a bottom feeder fanatic . Been vaping 5 years - first 2 years wasted tons of money on crap. You think things are overpriced now. Then it was even more

Found reomods 3 years ago. Absolutely loved it ever since. Used it with a 306 lr atty or i loved cartomizers on it as well. Bought a couple more reos over the years thats all i vape. Cant even fathom vaping without a juice feeder.

I left the rooms for like 3 years - just been back- glad to see the reo still going strong and the main pv for many ! The main ones ive found now have been the provari or reo or dna chip based mod.

Anyways right now i vape the reo with the rm2 rba - i not sure a kayfun fits on the reo but i do have one back up mpv itaste i use just to test ohms of my builds.......so with all that said if you use and like your reo n rm2 and also own a kayfun atty what are your thoughts? Much differences?

Originally i started buying in to all the (kayfun atty hype + whatever pv your using). Kayfun may even fit on the reo i honestly dont know but i dont think it does

I think once i try the kayfun and if i like it, it will be like letting the flood gates out for me - gonna start buying and wasting money on all these different attys ( i already went thru my waste period of 2 years and lots of money - i dont knock anyone for buying every new pv or atty out there. Its fun! Getting mail and i would continue to do so if i could!!!)

So, after further thought im thinking to stay away from this kayfun mania and work on the quality of my builds and the quality of eliquid i use on my reo. But kayfun curiosity definitely has me wondering - now i know why they say curiosity killed the cat.

Nothing wrong with a change of pace now and then. My Reo is all loaded up and vapes fine, but so is my Provari & a couple of mechanicals with RDA's. I don't use a KF simply because I already have two tanks going with the Reo & a carto tank on my Provari.

 

[UnclePsyko]

I too use a Reo w/ RM2 as my primary... and I also have a KayFun 3.1 (clone) on a JM22 mechanical as a back-up. Being it's a clone, I cannot vouch for an authentic KF/Russian but I've heard the difference is negligible from a couple reviewers and owners of both clones/authentic devices.
The KF will not fit on top of the Reo without a 510 extender, the well on the Reo is too deep.
I do enjoy the KF, it's got a great design and it does vape extremely well! The taste (IMHO) is just behind what I get from the RM2. It's got great flavor and vapor but not quite as rich and flavorful as the simple RM2, and my RM2 still has the stock air hole.
Both micro-coiled with cotton wicks at around 1.2ohms, using NET's in both... different flavors, obviously.

I use both a Reo grand with RM2 and a kayfun lite (real) on a provari or a Roller. Both are great vapes. Side by side with the same juice, the reo/rm2 gives a bit better flavor... with a .9Ω coil, the vape is warmer with more "get up and go". But I don't have to bother with squonking the kayfun like I do the Reo. The kayfun lite + is $100 shipped from itaste.de I have several real kayun lites, a russian 91% and a kayfun clone. I had to drill the air hole on the clone to get it even vapable, the draw was way too tight. So if you get a clone, it's hit or miss from what I've read and experienced. My real kayfuns and the R91% needed no modding.

Were they worth $100? yes, to me they were. But if you don't have a tube mod, you'd have to invest in that also. They are 2 totally different types of setups that I enjoy pretty much equally... but the edge probably goes to the reo/rm2 for shear simplicity.

Thanks for everyones input. With this i think i survived the kayfun buzz and gonna stay away. Vape budget not what it use to be at all. Yeah i heard mixed bag w the clones. Some say vape better than the real thing. Some have had bad luck. I have 2 reos. 1 reo vv, and an mvp on order that picked up on the cheap really to use for an ohm reader for my rm2 builds. Sticking with just that for awhile. More than plenty.

I realized today i dont think i have scratched the surface with what the simple yet beautiful reo can do. 90 percent of the vape is gonna be the build and airhole and battery. Squonking is just so easy. I love it!! Thats why when i found the reo i left the rooms 3 years ago. Im gonna stick and stay for a bit and see what the market brings and play catch up on all the reo can do with the right build and topper. Only been building two months. I heard cyclone fits it maybe and is suppose to be a great rba for reo. Plus rob has a subohm kit coming as well as airflow control. Gonna stick with what i know.

Thx again for this info -- i had like my sights dialed in on the kayfun/russian clones. Doooooone with it for now. Tunnel vision is bad

Oh - "unclepsy" what are "NET's" as you say ?

If you're happy with your current setup, and want to save a few bucks, I wouldn't say you "need" a kayfun. Coming from a HUGE kayfun fan, that's saying a lot. I hear they're already coming out with another new version soon too. If you are thinking of going back to analogs because you don't want to deal with all the hassles that come with your current setup, I would say you need a kayfun. If you have some cash to spare, are looking to upgrade from leaky tanks, burning cartos, or sick of dripping all the time, then a kayfun would definitely be a worthwhile investment.

 

[flexsr]

No analogs - i got ya - thank you for input

 

[Myrany]

I use REOs + RM2s 90% of the time

I do have a kayfun Lite clone that works reasonably well. It will indeed screw onto a REO (with a 510 adapter) but it is awfully heavy to me. I usually have my Kayfun Clone on a Chi You clone. It is just better balanced.

I haven't had any trouble from My kayfun clone but I do not think it is the bees knees so many others do. I like it a whole lot more than the AGA-T2s I have but that is not saying a whole lot. HOnestly I would rather just use a carto tank with a Diver or sophia.

For me personally, I bought the Kayfun mini before ever trying a Reo. I know other people love their Kayfuns but for me, when it worked properly it was great, but more often then not I'd get the wicking wrong (a little too long or something) and then I'd have to disassemble everything & sort out the problem. After dealing with that for a couple months I got my first Reo & RM2 & have not used the Kayfun mini since. For me the Reo is more convenient.

The flavor & vapor from the kayfun was really good. But imo it wasn't better than my RM2. As I said, I just didn't like the business of having to disassemble everything on the kayfun & pour out all my juice to sort out problems.

Oh, Sorry...
Naturally Extracted Tobacco. It's real tobacco that has been steeped much like tea in PG to extract the flavors. To me, it beats artificially flavored tobacco juices.

I'm sending my two KFL+ clones to another member here today - as a pif.

When they worked, they were great, but they were far too fiddly for me, and the REO and RM2 deliver better flavor.

My Provari is going to be sold to a friend of mine in the next few weeks. I simply don't use it any more.

I am thinking of getting a Reo Mini 2.1 but the RM2 looks a bit large for me.

Does anyone know how wide the RM2 is?
I have not been able to find that information anywhere.

Does anyone know any other smaller rebuildables that will work with the Reo Mini 2.1 version?

I just took a ruler to mine RM2 looks to be about 15 mm diameter and 25 mm tall (including the connector post)

I thought it looked a bit big as well, until I got one.
I just unscrewed the top cap and put it on a dime... it's smaller than a dime, but I don't know the exact size... sorry.
*edit*
Myrany is quicker than me...

 

[doots]

Ive had both also and still use my RM2s.. Dont have the russian any more. Best to stay with what you have, THE BEST<

 

[crazyarms]

I have a reo with a cyclone and up until this morning I also had a kayfun 3.1. I personally always favored the reo. Flavor was better, the vape was more consistent and hassle free.

The RM2 is tiny!

 

[DC2]

The RM2 is tiny!

Well, one of my top priorities in vaping is going smaller and more pocket-friendly.
That is why I am currently using a 510 atomizer on top of a 650mah Twist.

Compared to a 510 atomizer the RM2 is HUGE!!


I was looking at another very small rebuildable, and that one is 14mm.
It sounds like the RM2 is about the same size as that one.

So yeah, so far it sounds like the RM2 is as small as anything else that is considered small.

The Igo S is sold on the Reo site (Igo S bf) & it's a modded version that's a bottom feeder. It's smaller than the RM2.

The RM2 isn't as big as it looks in pictures. I thought it was bigger too until I got one. The milled one fits all Reos while the "low profile" one will only fit the low profile Reo as it's not been milled & is a bit wider on the bottom as a result.

If you go to the Reo subforum they have a sticky of different RDAs that are compatible with the Reo. There's a lot of info there about different compatible RDAs & there's also a lot of info within the thread from people who've been modding other RDAs for the Reo.

average daily use I use a reo in one pocket and a kayfun 3.1es in the other. both are modded and both are run as electronic variable wattage. both are very good but I'd def say that if my life depended on it and I had to throw one away it would be the kayfun, only because the reo is more consistent and fool proof. reo is #1 and the kayfun is #2

the difference is auto feed VS manual feed. when you get the kayfun dialed in right then the auto feed can be really great but, it can also be finicky and take a lot of trial and error to get everything right to have the auto feed actually work good.

auto feed is great when it works correctly and not so much when it don't. manual feed on the other hand is much more simple and foolproof. it always feeds when you squonk and always retracts the excess, always providing a well saturated but not flooded vape. to achieve the same in the kayfun takes a lot more tinkering and perfecting your setup, especially if you're the type to like 15-20 watt+ vapes, the kayfun stock works and feeds really well at very low power levels but having it work and feed well at higher power levels is increasingly tricky as the power goes up. at 7-11 watts the kayfun works great, up to 12,13 or 14 watts or so it's still manageable but more finicky and picky about wicking setup and at and over 15 watts it's increasingly difficult and problematic. it's not always that it won't wick that high but it won't wick well enough to give a reliable fully saturated vape consistently without some modification. the good thing is, once you find your ideal setup and "tune" it then becomes much easier and more consistent.

if you have a lot of patience and don't mind tinkering and trial and error and dialing it in to you, then the kayfun can really be an awesome vape, fully automatic, no squonking, just pull it out of your pocket and vape. flavor and vapor can really be top notch when dialed in. on the other hand if you are looking for fool proof and simple in comparison then the reo is without a doubt the better choice so I'd say get the reo over the kayfun, but then adding a kayfun later to the mix can be a good idea too. I only use original svoemesto stuff though, and both the 3.1es and the kayfun mini have really been awesome vapes for me, especially when I don't want to squonk. can't say anything about the "lite" versions which leave out the fill port and the side adjustable airflow and the reserve catch, nor can I say anything about the clones, personally I'd rather have one real deal kayfun than 10 clones but I guess everyone has there own opinion towards that

if you have neither, I'd def say reo first as long as you can live with the form factor
